I
love going to Chico for little jaunts. When it’s my friend Paula and I, we
always have lunch somewhere and then hit Costco and Winco. The last time we
went, we had lunch at Panera. I had a new sandwich, Croque Monsieur Croissant.
Ham, provolone and asiago cheeses, and caramelized onion and gruyere spread on
croissant toast. Excellent! And of course, it’s a limited item, so get it now
while you can. I usually get a soft drink with my meal, but for some reason, this
was the first time I noticed that they had iced coffee available! Score! I
could add as much sugar and creamer as I wanted! When we were ready to leave I
got another to take with me. Along with Costco and Winco, we went to Nothing
Bundt Cakes. Fair warning! Dangerously delicious! They’re on the pricey side,
but OMG are they awesome. Paula had a little store bag that if you use, you can
buy 3 of their bundtlets and get one free. So of course we did that. I chose a
s’mores and a carrot and Marv and I split them.
When
Marv and I go to Chico for Costco, we always get the hot dog and drink combo.
Tasty and you can NOT beat the price. If we’re in Chico for something else, we
almost always go to Barnes & Noble for a Starbucks coffee. Since I’m a
B&N member, I get a discount on the drinks. I used to get a Java Chip
Frappuccino, but they’ve discontinued it. So the last couple times I got the
Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino. The most recent time I got a Caramel Ribbon
Crunch. THAT is my new favorite!
One
time before going to B&N we stopped to look around in Cost Plus World
Market. I love looking at all the cool stuff and would love to max out a credit
card there. I did find a very cute Maneki Neko cup (pictured above). They had
them all different sizes including a teapot one. I settled for one of the
smaller ones. They also had an AMAZING beaded table runner with Maneki Nekos
(picture below). I REALLY wanted it, but it was pricey and I truly couldn’t
think of a place to put it. Our table is rarely clear enough to eat at, let
alone have a fancy runner on. *sigh*
We
also stopped at Tractor Supply so Marv could look at their Carhartt shirts.
While he was doing that, I looked through their display of miniature farm
animals, hoping to find a little cat or two for my little Zen Garden that I
have. No cats, but they had some very cute tiny tractors, backhoes, etc. I
thought that would be so much fun to have a farm themed Zen Garden, but they
were just a bit too big.
So,
what do YOU all do for fun?
